The brake system comprises two independent

brake circuits.

the gear selector is in position N, the brake

pedal is depressed and and the gear selector

is moved to D or M

If a brake circuit fails, the vehicle can still be

braked using the other brake circuit. However,

braking effect is achieved only when the brake

pedal is depressed firmly. Considerably more

force is needed for this. The braking distance

is extended. Seek the assistance of a workshop

before continuing the journey.

When the engine is not running, the support of

the brake servo unit disappears once the brake

pedal has been depressed once or twice.

Braking effect is not reduced, but braking

requires significantly greater force. It is

especially important to bear this in mind when

being towed.

Warning

Always apply parking brake firmly without

operating the release button, and apply as

firmly as possible on a downhill or uphill

slope. To release the parking brake, pull the

lever up slightly, press the release button and

fully lower the lever. To reduce the operating

forces of the parking brake, depress the foot

brake at the same time.

Restart of the engine by the stop & start

system

The selector lever must be in neutral to enable

an automatic restart.

If one of the following conditions occurs during

an Autostop, the engine will be restarted

automatically by the stop & start system:

Regenerative braking

Warning

In the case of extreme temperatures or

if the high-voltage battery is almost fully

charged, the brake force of the regenerative

braking may be temporarily reduced. If the

braking force is not sufficient, the driver must

be prepared to use the brake pedal.

► If the vehicle is on a downhill slope,

engage reverse gear or set the selector

lever to position P (automatic transmission

type A) / N (automatic transmission type

B). Turn the front wheels towards the

kerb.
